Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  Place softened butter in a bowl, then add the zest of an orange and a lemon, crushed garlic, finely chopped fresh sage, and thyme leaves.

  Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Gently loosen the skin over the breast and drumsticks with your fingers, taking care not to tear the skin.
• Spoon the butter under the skin and gently spread over the meat until the butter has been distributed over the chicken.
• In a roasting dish, add orange halves, quartered onion, halved garlic bulb, thyme and sage.
• Place the chicken on top and season with more salt and pepper on both sides.

  Pour chicken stock around the chicken, then place it in the oven.
• Roast the chicken for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on size, until golden brown and cooked through (165℉).

  Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving.
